Some of Stephen O'Brien's spiritual thoughts. |
|
Love can never be dissected by clever scientists in their laboratories, or technically proven in any way: nevertheless it exists and, what is more, Love is stronger than death. If you have tasted the joys of love - and I don't mean physical love but the deeper true spiritual love - then be thankful, for you are fortunate indeed. I would place respect hand-in-glove with toleration, freedom of expression and unconditional love. When respect is missing in relationships what can exist in its absence? Only turmoil, condemnation and bitterness, unfair judgement and the building of physical and psychological barriers that distress human beings. Who could be happy living amongst all of that? Surely it is better to live alone in peace and freedom than to suffer all the indignities that a lack of respect brings? If mutual respect dies then true spiritual love was not present in your relationship; for if love had been there, respect would not have died. We should try to love and respect the God-Spark of Divinity that is planted within all living things, both in the human and in the animal kingdom. Sometimes, that spark seems deeply buried in certain people, but nevertheless we should try to love them. Love one another; and serve one another with a willing heart. Only one single thought - just one code of conduct means more than anything else to me now: Without Love, we are nothing. |
